Quick Sketch Of Some Of The Important Napoleonic Medical Staff

Forgot to post this, but I recently remembered one of the monuments erected 1899 to commemorate the two battles of Zürich

there's a poem on the back, thought I'd give an English translation

How our town suffered a hundred years ago, When the stranger fought with the stranger, When bullets rang through the silent forest, The columns of fire smoked, Flags waved, The father tells the son and he then admonishes the grandson: Boy become a man! Even if those old wounds healed, Don't forget how our mothers suffered; The enemy's army devoured the children's bread, The misery was great, immense was the hardship! If the city is never to experience such suffering, The coming generation must rally: Keep watch and hold the defense, To protect Swiss borders, Swiss honour!

Even though the city itself remained pretty much unharmed, the poem makes reference to the uh- abundantly-practiced act of looting that took place in order to feed the armies

u kno this site is full of nerds because even people’s sexual fantasies are like ok i’m a 19th century surgeon and you’re my patient. i start to repair your hernia but that’s not the only thing i get my tools on…(since this is before the popularization of handwashing as a surgical practice, you contract an infection and die)

The urge to dwelve into the rich history, delight in interpreting sources, and try to represent the past as accurately as possible

vs.

The urge to draw old men yaoi

young naps

ALRIGHT introducing a few Napoleonic ocs from my 1789-1815 story. This is very old but Im trying to take out everything in my drafts bc it’s uh spring cleaning or smthg. Also each one is based off of a marshal in some way (either personality, looks, or plot-wise). Think of them as webtoon-ified marshals 💀

I put the marshal's name next to the oc's name

Napoleonic segment of story begins in 1806 at a border French town, where all these characters live at some point (except for the last two).

Also extra pic of St.Q bc he’s MY DESIGNATED FAVORITE BLORBO BRAINCHILD OF ALL STAR TIME 💫 💫 💫

Hello napoleonic community

I drew the ladder man

Uhh obligatory introduction post incoming-

Hello, I'm Em (19, he/any), I made this blog so that I can live out my historical hyperfixations on here instead of torturing my poor friends and family.

I'll post mostly art of:

- napoleonic era figures

- (historical) original characters being homoerotic

- old-timey surgeons covered in blood

- age of sail

- anything else that gets stuck in my brain and starts rotting there

Please talk to me, I promise I want to socialize and make new friends I just suck at it lol

(English isn't my first language, but I'll give it my best)
